The article did address this:
The internet loves roasting “boomers,” the shorthand term for the Baby Boomer generation born in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Admittedly, most boomer shooter fans are likely Gen-Xers and Millennials, but they’re still co-opting the term in a sarcastic but positive way that conveys the old-school nature of this niche genre.
It all comes down to it rolling off your tongue better.
Great article! All to say that if it wasn’t for indie devs, genres like this one would have stayed dead. I’m glad they brought it back. If there’s a market for it, they should make the game. AAA studios only want the highest ROI so they were always unlikely to take the risk on something like this.
Also a Plex lifetime user. I tried jellyfin not too long ago to see what the fuss was all about. I had heard that they handled her tonemapping better.
The interface is different but more or less just as good as Plex. It’s definitely more for the person that likes to dive in the details of the config of their server. For example, you need to setup your own domain for external users to connect to. It’s not done automatically like on Plex.
The focus on your content vs the “free” content Plex shoves in our face is nice I must admit.
Just a question of preference. In the end I stuck it out with Plex… For now.
I hope the traffic logic gets an improvement. I remember having a lot of weird behavior with lane changes where every car would decide to change lanes at on specific spot on the road and line up to get to that spot.
Looking forward to see what else they’ll be improving on.
I’ve found CloudFlare tunnels to be really useful. You can restrict who can have access to your apps outside your nextwork. You can also leave it completely open if you want.
When Reddit said moderator tools were exempt from the API pricing, did they mention the tools would stay as is?
I’m assuming not since the mods are still protesting.
I’m out of the loop of the details regarding the impact on mod tools.
I can only imagine that 5his wasn’t a recent interview, but I know it’s not the case. He’s completely lost it. Very out of touch with what made Reddit Reddit.
My setup is running NPM and I can’t complain, but I’ll look into caddy as I’ve seen it mentioned a lot.
I saw it mentioned here, I likely won’t change on my setup until something breaks though. 😂
As a father of 2 the steamdeck has been amazing for me! It’s allowed me to get back into games for short sprints.
That said I’ve been revisiting:
I didn’t know Lemmy could run on arm architecture. Is your installation with docker?
They don’t automatically block you. Beehaw seems on the lookout of troublesome users more than other instances. When they notice a lot of those users are coming from the same instance, they just defederate it until better tools become available to moderate.
I’m still federated with both instances. I’m also the only user on my instance.
Yeah I agree that enough attention has been placed on Lemmy for it to pop in Redditors heads when they start thinking of other sites to go to. It won’t happen overnight but that’ll also give the Lemmy devs time to apply some fixes and add new features.
I’m curious about the mod tools. Is it possible to moderate a small to medium sized subreddit without those tools? To me, the mods are the glue behind it all. If a subreddit goes off the rails because of bot spam and toxic/hate posts, people will just go elsewhere.
So if mods stop moderating because they don’t have access to their tools, this will likely happen at one point or another.
Yeah I get that. I have mine running behind Cloudflare where they proxy the dns on their own.
I ended up using their nginx configuration instead of NPM. I didn’t want to start messing with that. If ever I reinstall I may attempt it.
Thanks for sharing. The official installation documentation is a little out of date and I had issues too setting up the docker installation. Figured it out in the end but not after a lot of head scratching and testing.
Thanks! That list is much longer than I expected!
Came here to say this as well. It’s a game of cat and mouse.
I’m not familiar with Nebula. Are known Youtubers on that platform?
I know I know. Just thought it was interesting that they had the same thought process in the article too. 😄
